He knows that his top options could dwindle if other highly-rated recruits decide to commit before he does.

"You have to play it out, but you have to know when to make that call," Carr said. "It's hard to always judge it because you don't always know when a recruit is going to commit. It leaves you a little worried."

The 6-foot-5, 310-pound offensive lineman from Southside-Gadsden High School plans to make his college decision in October, but is willing to move his timetable up if necessary. The four-star prospect, according to 247Composite, pays attention to the scholarship numbers of Auburn, Alabama and Georgia -- his three main recruiting options.

Auburn, his father's alma mater, is considered the favorite to land Carr, but spots are filling up fast. With Ole Miss tackle Austin Golson transferring to Auburn, the Tigers might take only two more offensive lineman in the class of 2015.

"We've talked about it," he said. "They are only taking five spots and they have three filled. It's getting nitty-gritty. They said if that's where I want to be, I shouldn't wait too long."

Georgia could take two more offensive lineman, while Carr said Alabama "is telling me I'm top on their priority board and to come on whenever." Three of Alabama's 18 verbal commitments are offensive linemen.

Carr visited Auburn last weekend for the school's Big Cat Weekend. He said he had "a great time" and that the coaches "really treated us right" during the invite-only event for Auburn's top recruiting targets. Carr didn't talk any football with the school's coaching staff, but instead got a chance to know them on a more personal level.

"I've never been to anything like that," he said.

Carr will participate in Rivals.com's "Five-Star Challenge" this weekend in Baltimore. He is excited for the opportunity to compete against five-star defensive lineman like Baker County (Fla.) defensive end CeCe Jefferson and Armwood (Fla.) defensive end Byron Cowart.
